Microscopic mechanism for cold denaturation
Cristiano L. Dias, Tapio Ala-Nissila, Mikko Karttunen +2
We elucidate the mechanism of cold denaturation through constant-pressure simulations for a model of hydrophobic molecules in an explicit solvent. We find that the temperature depe…
Unfolding designable structures
Cristiano L. Dias, Martin Grant
Among an infinite number of possible folds, nature has chosen only about 1000 distinct folds to form protein structures. Theoretical studies suggest that selected folds are intrins…
Point defects in models of amorphous silicon and their role in structural relaxation
Cristiano L. Dias, Laurent J. Lewis, S. Roorda
We have used tight-binding molecular-dynamics simulations to investigate the role of point defects (vacancies and interstitials) on structural relaxation in amorphous silicon. Our…
